Halloween in Dublin

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I learned this year that Halloween has it's roots in Ireland in the Celtic Samhain festival. That was plenty good reason to celebrate. We created fun and inexpensive costumes for the New and Not So New in Dublin 'Fancy Dress' party.

We went as World Travelers by cutting up a map and securing the pieces with Velcro to sea blue t-shirts.

We decorated our hats with plane tickets and paper airplanes with world currency. By standing back-to-back, we could do a decent imitation of a globe.

The party was held at McGrattan's Pub and we had the upstairs to ourselves. Fun decorations added to the atmosphere and the DJ spun tunes until well after midnight.

We were treated to bangers and mash and various sweet desserts (what fun in Halloween without sugar?!).

Two of my favorite costumes of the night were Alice in Wonderland and this girl with the mask on the back of her head. She put it there because she was warm but it looks really freaky.
